About Discussions Projects58 Journals59 Publications27

Thoughtful spaces prioritize the relationship between people and their environments. These designs consider how spatial qualities affect mood, behavior, and social interaction, moving beyond aesthetics to create places that genuinely serve their inhabitants.

The community explores residential renovations and new builds that foster comfort and belonging, educational environments that support student-centered learning, and public spaces that anchor communities. Projects emphasize warmth, flow, and the psychological impact of thoughtful design decisions.

Querencia

Querencia is a noun, meaning "a place from which one's strength is drawn, where one feels at home; the place where you are your most authentic self." When the children first met life, an abstract environment was created in which the children became stronger and felt at home by the redefinition of the elements that make up the space.

Mellow

'Mellow' is a reading pod that can also be used for other activities like sleeping, working, meditation, etc. The pod represents the transition of a user stepping into a place of solitude and calm, away from the busyness of one’s daily routine.

INTROVERSE

Located in a park in the heart of Beijing, the project creates a secluded space that protects users from the busy environment and prompts each individual to find their own expression of faith. Nature was used as a key element to contextualize the project while the spiral shape evokes the idea of a journey one makes towards the central space.

ISOLATION MOMENTUM

Faith isn't always something fundamental for people, that’s why the project not only seeks to provide a space where users connect with their God but also to provide a special place where they can meditate and find themselves. We created different realities in the park where everyone can escape in their own way.
